Re: .mil postmaster Contacts?
Well the servers for DISA.MIL are not EDNS compliant, they drop EDNS version 1 queries and unless you are running a experimental nameserver which expects EDNS version negotiation to work it shouldn't be causing you issues yet. Otherwise the lookups of the MX records succeed. There is no good reason to block EDNS version 1 queries. All it does is break EDNS version negotiation.

Re: .mil postmaster Contacts?
It *might* have been. Things cleared up yesterday. I initially thought it was the result of disabling DNSSEC on our primary resolvers, but am less certain that was the fix now as I don't see any issues with their config (per dnsviz).

Those all appear to be going through DISA's Enterprise Email system. http://www.disa.mil/Services/Computing/~/media/Files/DISA/Services/Computing/DECCServiceDeskContact.pdf If they don't have an option specifically for Enterprise Email, try contacting the extension for Oklahoma City. --- -ITG (ITechGeek) i...@itechgeek.com https://itg.nu/ GPG Keys: https://itg.nu/contact/gpg-key Preferred GPG Key: Fingerprint: AB46B7E363DA7E04ABFA57852AA9910A DCB1191A Google Voice: +1-703-493-0128 / Twitter: ITechGeek / Facebook: http://fb.me/Jbwa.Net On Mon, Oct 27, 2014 at 2:23 PM, Mike A mi...@mikea.ath.cx wrote: On Mon, Oct 27, 2014 at 10:52:07AM -0700, Ray Van Dolson wrote: We're seeing issues deliving email to certain .mil domains.
